Some of these include limiting the YouTube Kids watch hours, restricting access to certain key features like calling someone, etc. There’s even a Kids Dictionary to explain kids’ meanings of something they asked in an easy way.
Google Voice Assistant’s New Features
As per it, users will soon get to control certain aspects of Voice Assistant on their Nest devices to make them safer for kids. Some of these include disabling certain Assistant features – like restricting YouTube Kids watch hours, barring them from making phone calls, etc. These controls will be coming to Google Assistant, Google Home, and Family Link apps for both Android and iOS in the “coming weeks”. Aside from parental controls, the Assistant is getting a “Kids Dictionary,” too, which will give age-suitable answers on speakers, displays, and mobile devices to whatever the questions kids ask. It’s good enough to simplify the answers – like not using tough words for explaining simple objects and sentences – making them easier to understand. There are even “kid-friendly” voices that are slower, more expressive, and otherwise better matched to childhood development!
